Pets in B&W

EXTENDED WEEKLY PHOTO CONTEST SUMMARY:
Submit up to three (3) images relating to or displaying the essence of the theme: ‘Pets in B&W’. We love our pets! And we love classic B&W (or toned) photos. Now is your chance to combine both. Show us your best B&W pet photos (neutral, toned, or selectively toned are all fine) in this extended contest with a growing Cash Prize Payout. The judge will be looking for images that illustrate the theme in interesting ways that engage the viewer; plus normal judging criteria of: originality and creativity, photo technique and/or quality, and overall artistic merit.
